Rooibos is grown only in a small area in the region of the Western Cape province of South Africa.[2] Generally, the leaves are oxidized, a process often, inaccurately, referred to as fermentation by analogy with tea-processing terminology. This process produces the distinctive reddish-brown colour of rooibos and enhances the flavour. Unoxidized "green" rooibos is also produced, but the more demanding production process for green rooibos (similar to the method by which green tea is produced) makes it more expensive than traditional rooibos. It carries a malty and slightly grassy flavour somewhat different from its red counterpart.

Rooibos, sometimes known as "Red Tea", is made from the red bush plant indigenous to the remote mountains of the Western Cape of South Africa. Revered for its health promoting properties, it is completely caffeine-free so you can enjoy any time of the day.
